NuAngel Bra Extenders - 3 Hook Assorted

NuAngel Bra Extenders, three per package. Extenders add up to three inches to the bra providing comfort and extended bra use.
Customer Review: Great solution
These are great, comfortable, and very affordable. Great solution to not having to spend loads of money to buy new bras during pregnancy. I even hooked two extenders together. Very fast shipping from the seller too.


Nursing your new born baby is the most important thing you can do for your child. The milk you provide is the exact formula he will need to stay healthy and grow. This is something you don't get when you formula feed your newborn.

Some women find it hard to nurse and this could be due to the wrong nursing bra. It's also possible she is wearing a regular bra instead of a nursing bra. This is not good especially for new moms. The experience should be pleasant and comfortable, but it's not when your bra doesn't work properly.

The first time you get a nursing bra, you really should consider going to a maternity store. They will have the ability to measure you correctly and they will also have the knowledge to know what size you should go with to have the perfect fit. Once you are fitted you will be able to purchase your next nursing bra at a clothing store. You should consider being measured with each pregnancy because your body can change.

Nursing bras come in many different styles. You need to be comfortable with your bra so you need to decide what will work best for you. Consider the style you wore before you got pregnant. If you wore an underwire before, you may want to go with an underwire now. Most of the time the cup itself will have a latch of some sort that will easily come apart when it's time to nurse. Not only will this make it easier for you to feed in public, but it will also make it a quicker process.

When you purchase your nursing bra you will want to purchase at least two but three or four would be better. There are several reasons for this. When you are nursing there are times where you will leak a small amount of milk. This will dry on your bra and make it hard and not comfortable to wear. Another reason why you will want more than one is the baby may be a little messy or spit up a little and it may get on your bra. You need to remember that it's important that you are comfortable and wearing a wet bra is not very comfortable.

One way to prevent your bra from getting wet from a leak is to wear nursing pads. You can get these at any grocery store and you will be happy you did. The pad will absorb the leak and it will not get on your bra. I suggest carrying at least two sets in a plastic bag in your purse. It may also be a good idea to put two sets in your diaper bag. You never know when you will have an accident.

Nursing your baby is so important for his health and it's good for your health as well. Purchasing a nursing bra will make nursing so much easier. It will be one of the best investments you will make.

Medela Comfort Maternity Nursing Bra - White - Large

Customer Review: Live and learn
These bras run a little small, and they are very tight when you first get them (like pantyhose). So order a bigger size than you think you need. Also, I'm not crazy about the straps. They show at the neck even under tshirts, and they sit right on your shoulder muscle. I always seem to get a headache when I wear it, and I think it is from the constant pressing on that muscle. Why three stars? I think if I had gotten a larger size, then the muscle problem would not have been so bad. And it is pretty comfortable and very easy to nurse from. I sure wish I could have traded it out with a bigger size to see.


Breastfeeding is the feeding of an infant or young child with milk from a woman's breasts. Breastfeeding can be enjoyable for both you and your baby.

Breast milk is easy to digest and contains antibodies that can protect infants from bacterial and viral infections. Breast engorgement is caused by congestion of the blood vessels in the breast. The breasts are swollen, hard, and painful. Breast milk has the right amount and quality of nutrients to suit your baby's first food needs. Breastfeeding (nursing) your baby can be a comfortable and relaxing experience, though nipple soreness should be expected, especially during the first weeks of breastfeeding. Breast fullness is the gradual accumulation of blood and milk in the breast a few days after birth and is a sign that your milk is coming in.

Breast fullness doesn't impair efficient breastfeeding because the breast tissues can be easily compressed by the baby's mouth. Breast infections most commonly occur in mothers who are stressed, exhausted, have cracked nipples, plugged milk ducts, breast engorgement, who have skipped feedings. A breast infection (mastitis) causes flu-like symptoms such as aching muscles, fever, and a red, hot, tender area on one breast. Breast infections most commonly occur in mothers who are stressed and exhausted, have cracked nipples, plugged milk ducts or breast engorgement, have skipped feedings, or wear a tight bra. Symptoms of yeast infection in the mother are deep, pink nipples that are tender or uncomfortable during and immediately after nursing.

Breast infections most commonly occur in mothers who are stressed and consume have first-rate nipples, plugged milk ducts or breast engorgement, have skipped feedings, or wear a tight bra. Breast engorgement (congestion with blood ) is caused by congestion of the blood vessels in the breast. Breast fullness is the gradual accumulation of blood and milk in the breast a few days after birth and is a sign that your milk is coming in. Pain, stress, and anxiety can interfere with the reflex. Breast milk is safe for the baby and continues to be the best source of nutrition -- even when you have a breast infection. The breasts are swollen, hard, and painful. The nipples cannot protrude to allow the baby to latch on correctly, and nursing is difficult.

Because lingerie is made of fabrics that are lightweight and delicate in nature, there is a proper way to care for very delicate garments. As for the lingerie that you wash, whether by machine or by hand, it is first necessary to remove any stains. In addition, it is good to keep in mind that delicate lingerie will last longer if you strive to keep their fiber strength. Two tips on that: When hand-washing, treat the garment gently and do not wring or twist it too much. Secondly, rinse everything thoroughly so that you remove all traces of soap or detergent.

There is some lingerie that is dry-clean only. Synthetic or man-made fabrics such as nylon and polyester are economical, easily washed and quite versatile in their uses. Because underwear can hold odor and "skid" marks, proper washing will give you the confidence you deserve with your delicate lingerie and underwear. When underwear is washed with a load of clothes that is too large, they do not come clean. Check to see if you are overloading the wash that has your intimate apparel.

To clean lingerie, there are the little lingerie bags that can protect your delicates in the laundry. The nylon bag has a zipper and you put your delicates in the bag, zip it and then put the bag in the washer. The bag is excellent for protecting nylon hosiery too. You can get a fine comfortable fit from lingerie of any fabric. Elegant and flowing lingerie if worn properly, with confidence, the material may not be that important. A woman should keep in mind that yeast infections may be caused by clothing. Pantyhose, tight fitting jeans and underwear made of synthetic fibers can be culprits. Undergarments can promote sweating and will not allow air to circulate. For this reason, clean your underwear and intimate apparel thoroughly.

Comfort Line - Light Support Bra - Black Large

Customer Review: Really Comfortable, But Made for "Traditional" Bodies
I love this bra, don't get me wrong... I have one and plan to buy one or two more. It's great not only for wearing at night, but I wear mine around the house as a top (although I will readily admit that it's not the sexiest) and it's extremely comfortable. My problem is that it isn't adjustable enough. I have a small frame and very large breasts (34DD), and the bra doesn't seem to fit quite right. The elastic band sort of bunches on top while the cups are a little small. I'm sure that if your body is more proportionate (eg. 34C or 36D, etc.) this would be the best bra ever. This truly is a light support bra and doesn't really cut it outside the house for large-breasted women, unless you're going for the sagging look!


It used to be a challenge to be a pregnant plus-size woman. Fortunately both local stores and online shops now stock plus size maternity clothes. If you look carefully you also should be able to find good sales on maternity clothes that will help you maintain a budget. Keep in mind that, after all, these are only temporary clothes.

You needed rush out to buy plus size maternity clothes the moment you become pregnant. The biggest changes in your body are generally still several months off. One notable exception, though, may be your bra size, since breasts tend to enlarge much sooner than does the waistline. A smart shopper will invest now in nursing bras, instead of just buying larger sized regular bras. Nursing bras will give you the support you will need through pregnancy, and be very useful once your baby arrives.

A professional fitting is a must if you are pregnant because your old bras will no longer fit. Buy only one or two bras at a time because your size will continue to change throughout your pregnancy. You may also want to look for a comfortable bra to use while you sleep because you may find you need round the clock support while you are pregnant.

Don't start buying and wearing maternity clothes until you absolutely have to. If you start wearing too many plus size maternity clothes when you first learn you're pregnant, you will get very tired of them by the end of the pregnancy. A plus size dress is made with extra give room which may be fine in early months but too tight towards the end of the pregnancy. After delivery you will want to continue wearing maternity clothing for awhile, especially if you will be nursing.

Simple, classic, easy to care for clothes are excellent wardrobe choices for a pregnant woman. Plus size maternity clothes which can be tossed in a home washer and dried in a home dryer definitely fit into this category. A woman can care for them easily and this is really important during the nine months of pregnancy when she is often tired much of the time. Her wardrobe will seem much more attractive and chic when it doesn't wear her out even more.

Plus size maternity clothing is more difficult to find and will cost more than other maternity clothing. You will want to try on maternity clothing in a store to determine the fit. Then, if you like, you can comparison shop for the same items online to see if you can find discounts. You will be able to find lots of websites offering discounts and clearance sales. In fact, the larger department stores often offer a better selection of plus size clothing, both regular and maternity, online than they do in their stores.

Remember that regular clothing with a loose fit or that has elastic or a drawstring at the waist will also work well into your pregnancy. This option is also more economical as it will be something that you can also use after your pregnancy, as well as saving you money now. Being a BBW doesn't have to mean that you can't find nice plus size maternity clothes.

Playtex Soft Bottle Liners, 4 oz 100 liners




One thing is for sure─when you have a baby you must be super organised. And your diaper bag (also called a nappy or baby bag) is going to become one of your best friends! You are going to be carrying it 24/7 so its essential that you are happy with the bag you choose.

Gone are the days when you could fly out the door, teeny-tiny purse or bag in hand. Now youve got kids, organising your diaper bag is a serious task.

A well-organised diaper bag is going to make your life a lot easier. Keep it organised (and simple) and trips out with baby will be a breeze!

Spare breast pads

Top Tips

Always have a diaper bag that is packed and ready to go. Obviously, youll need to organise and update regularly but I found having one that was in an accessible place and organised was great if I had a last-minute or unexpected place to go or errand to run.

Think about practicality. Obviously, its great to look hip and stylish but if your diaper bag is a hindrance, rather than a help then you can waste a lot of money.

Have a special diaper bag for daddy. We bought a non-gender specific style for my husband. I make sure this is always organized and replenished so that hes always ready to go!

Choose a bag that you will be happy to use even after your baby is out of diapers. Diaper bags are great for general use as well. (I love the pockets!)

bravado body silk seamless nursing soft cup bra

Medela Sleep Nursing Bra

Customer Review: Good overall
Pros: It works as intended Keeps pads in place Folds back easily for nursing Comfortable once you get used to it Cons: Fairly cheaply made (elastic frayed after 1 wash) Poor policies...YOU MUST KEEP ALL TAGS ON THE PRODUCT AND NOT WASH IT AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO RETURN IT. ALSO, RETURN IT IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING. Rides up rather high. When I first bought it, the elastic didn't even come down all the way under the chest for support. Overall, the product is good; it works for what my needs are. I wish there were several others at decent prices so I could compare. I've had this for 6 months and use it on and off.
Customer Review: Good but will wear out.
I purchased one of these bras when I first began to notice my breasts getting sore at the beginning of pregnancy. I wanted something to support me at night as I "enlarged". It's a comfy bra, and provided good support, but after 7 months of near every-night wear, I will say that it has a shrunk a bit in the wash, and the seams are starting to unravel. I suppose I've been harder on it than most, but I've definately given it a good test. Overall I would recommend it to anyone willing to pay this much for a single bra. (I do think it's over-priced) But I'm sure I'll be purchasing another one or two to get me through nursing.


In preparation for labor and birth it is a good idea to learn your options for pain relief. You should also find how to reach your health care provider if you go into labor. Find out at what point in labor you should call.

Visit the hospital or birthing center sometime before you reach the last few weeks of pregnancy. You should note:

Directions to the hospital or birthing center

Where to park

Where to check-in

Pre-register if you can so your insurance information is already in the computer when you arrive

What are the signs of labor?

Contractions that come at regular and increasingly shorter intervals. The contractions should become stronger over time.

Lower back pain that does not go away or cramping pains that feel like premenstrual

Water breaks (can be a large gush or a continuous trickle)

A Bloody (brownish or red-tinged) mucous discharge, which is probably the mucous plug that blocks the cervix. This usually means your cervix is dilating or opening up, becoming thinner and softer. Labor may start right away or it may still be days away.

When choosing where to deliver you should contact your insurance company to find out what options are available. In general the options include:

Hospitals

Birth centers

At home

If you choose a hospital or birth center there are most likely Lamaze classes and breastfeeding support.

The most advanced medical equipment and highly trained doctors for pregnant women and their babies are available in a hospital.

Who should give birth in a hospital setting?

Women with health problems

Women with pregnancy complications

Women who are at risk for problems during labor and delivery

If you or the baby is in danger a doctor in the hospital can do a cesarean section and you can receive epidurals or many other pain relief options in a hospital setting.

It is important to note that doctors and midwives have admitting privileges at certain hospitals. Before you choose a doctor or midwife find out their affiliated hospital. Other things you might consider when choosing a hospital include:

How close is the hospital to your home?

Is an anesthesiologist available 24 hours a day?

Are you comfortable in the labor and delivery rooms?

Are private rooms available?

How many visitors are allowed into the room with you?

Does the hospital have neonatal intensive care units in case of serious problems with the baby?

Where does the baby stay after delivery?

Does the hospital have an on-site birth center?

At hospitals with on-site birth centers you can choose to deliver your baby in a comfortable, intimate setting. If problems arise, you and your baby have the security of already being in the hospital.

Anita Microfiber Underwire Nursing Bra Style 5041

Modern, stretch lace with extra soft finish on the skin side, makes this Anita Nursing Bra a real treat. It shows a functional microfiber back and preformed seamless cups for extra sensitive breasts. It also has Kwikklip for easy opening and features the Anita Memo to mark the side last used for breastfeeding.
Customer Review: Thank goodness for this bra!!!
I was looking for a comfortable and attractive nursing bra in a large size (I'm a 38E! Yikes!) and I have found it!!! This bra is very comfortable, attractive, and so worth the extra money! Most bras (nursing or not) for larger breasted women are matronly and make you feel like you're wearing body armor. But this bra is great! I'd even recommend it to non-nursing larger breasted women. I was nervous ordering bras online, but this one has exceeded my expectations. The underwire is soft enough that when I fold the cup down to nurse, it does not dig into my ribcage like so many other nursing bras with underwires, but still provides comfortable support. The little 'memo' tab to mark which side to nurse from next is really helpful as well. I'm very happy with this bra, I even bought two (in black and skin), and if they had it in my size in white I'd buy another! :D
Customer Review: The Best Nursing Bra
After three children and trying perhaps a dozen different nursing bras I have to say that this is overall the best nursing bra I have ever owned. It is fabulously functional. It is comfortable. It fits beautifully. And it's an attractive bra. Nursing pads fit easily into each cup during those early (leaky) days, but without the pads the bra provides plenty of support while allowing air to reach the breasts. I wish I'd found this bra after having my first child . . . but better late than never. This is a great product and is one that I am happy to recommend.


Breastfeeding advice abounds in parenting magazines, books, websites, and even free booklets from formula manufacturers. Some of the information is contradictory and some of it is just plain false. For instance, here are 3 bad pieces of advice and why they're bound to lead to problems.

1) Only nurse for XXX minutes per side

Fill in the blank here. It may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 15 minutes, but breastfeeding mothers are often told to watch the clock instead of watching their baby. Well meaning people (like the labor and delivery nurse who told me this after my oldest was born) say this because they think that soreness has to do with how long or how often baby nurses. It doesn't. Soreness has to do with HOW baby nurses.

So why is this poor advice?

Because babies can't tell time. A newborn may take 15 minutes to nurse on one breast, especially if he's (and you're) still learning the ropes. Don't set a time limit on your newborn's nursings. There is no such thing as non-nutritive sucking. Baby will always be rewarded with ounces or drops of milk for as long as he is at the breast.

In addition, the milk that baby gets at the end of the feeding, after the second letdown, is higher in fat and calories. Limiting time at the breast may, for some babies, lead to slow weight gain, fussiness, excessive gassiness and other problems.

2) Breastfed babies poop every day

While many young breastfed infants do have a dirty diaper every day, many don't. This has lead to much angst of the part of a poor Mom who thinks her baby is starving if he doesn't fill a diaper every day. Remember that breastmilk is digested completely and there is none or little "waste". Sometimes, especially during a period of rapid growth, your baby will skip days inbetween bowel movements. My second child went 8 days without a bowel movement once when he was a newborn, and I was concerned. When he did finally go, he made up in quantity what he lacked in frequency. If memory serves, several loads of laundry were needed to clean up the resulting mess!

If your baby is producing plenty of wet diapers, has no signs of dehydration and is gaining weight according to schedule, he's probably fine. The consistency of his movements rather than the frequency is a more accurate sign of constipation. Keep in mind that totally breastfed infants do not get constipated. If a baby who is eating some solids struggles to pass a hard stool, call your doctor or a breastfeeding consultant. And don't limit his time at the breast.

3) Don't let him use you for a pacifier

This is another well intentioned piece of advice in which the advice giver tries to lighten the load of the
breastfeeding mother, but it betrays a lack of understanding of the breastfeeding relationship.

Breastfed infants do not just nurse when they are hungry. They also nurse when they are thirsty, tired, over-stimulated, scared, hurt, coming down with an illness, lonely or bored. And that's ok. Frequent nursing keeps a mother's milk supply at a high level to meet baby's needs. A baby who suddenly wants to nurse "constantly" may be going through a growth spurt and is signaling to Mom to "send more milk!" in the most effective way possible. Or he may be teething or otherwise not feeling well.

Think about how you might feel if someone said that you shouldn't comfort your preschooler when they fell down and skinned their knee. A baby who uses the breast as a "pacifier" is no different that that older child, or a friend who calls you for a shoulder to cry on. It's called relationship.

Nursing is also pleasurable for babies. Sucking is a comfort and regulates the nervous system, and for the young infant, the best kind of sucking is the kind that takes place at the breast. Babies who are offered pacifiers tend to wean earlier than babies who don't take them.

Frequent nursing also has benefits for Mom. Levels of certain hormones are kept constant in her bloodstream, helping her to feel calmer, more impervious to stress, and happier. Frequent nursing also tends to keep fertility away, which may be a desirable side effect and also protects her health long term.

The bottom line? Listen to the baby and your own common sense, and listen less to the books and advice givers.
